The Drag Race all-star JinkxMonsoon talks about everyday magic on- and offstage. | ✍️ HolyBarbie

Jinkx Monsoon: Everything at StakeOf course, Monsoon doesn’t need magic to captivate an audience. But when they do work their witchcraft, they can be considered a kitchen witch. Often referred to as a hearth witch, a kitchen witch uses their home and hearth as a primary focus of their craft. Kitchen witches are known to sing, chant, and project their intent while summoning energies within.

“I think amethyst has been very significant in my life mainly because it cleanses the ego by taking it out of the equation. It focuses on what’s best from the situation. That’s how I want to be as an artist,” says Monsoon. “Of course, I have an ego, I’m a drag queen! I’m a performer! I have to think I’m top shit before I even step up on that stage.”

Of course, Monsoon was not always sure if witchcraft would get a positive or negative response. For a while, they worried that bringing up witchcraft would be seen as a gimmick, and while they do consider it one, they decided to lean into the title of “witch,” because it’s a trope they thoroughly enjoy.

Monsoon released a cover of ELO’s song “Strange Magic” last summer. The music video was directed by Frank Correa. Music is clearly Monsoon’s superpower, and they’re not the only one who recognizes this skill. Legendary BBC sci-fi series, they either use music to control their audience, or they’re just an average music teacher from Portland. The new villain has been described as Doctor Who’s most powerful enemy yet.
